Alfred Bester: The Push of A Finger: —or a careless word, for that matter, can wreck the entire universe. Think not? Well, if it happened this way—

Science fiction from the 50s by one of the masters, Alfred Bester. Society has committed itself to complete stability.

Everyone is locked out of course but he wants to know more, he wants in by any means and the results of that obsession are more far reaching than anyone can imagine.
